Half of the users on this popular ‘Avengers’-themed subreddit are set to be banned from Reddit

The wrath of the villainous Thanos from ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has served as the inspiration behind this willing cull of users

Half of the users on a popular Avengers-themed subreddit will soon be banned from the site in homage to Avengers: Infinity War villain Thanos.

The forum r/thanosdidnothingwrong has steadily built up its membership since the release of the Marvel film back in April, with fans of the film expressing their love for Thanos online.

Now in a move which mirrors the events of Infinity War, the mods of the subreddit are preparing to wipe out half of the 336,000 Reddit users who have, at the time of writing, subscribed to the group. In the film – spoiler alert – Thanos uses the power of the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of the universe’s population.

After discussions with Reddit’s admins, the mods of r/thanosdidnothingwrong are now preparing to cull over half of their members on July 9. When the ban – which will pick users at random using a bot which will control the cull in “a quick and easy manner” – takes place, it’ll be one of the largest mass bans in Reddit’s history.

Avengers fans on Reddit have been celebrating the impending move, with one writing: “Finally – balance in the universe.”
